What's your drop?
A lot of folks are asking how much of a drop I have, so i thought it would be fun to start a thread and see what everyone's drops were with what equipment.
To keep it equal, please measure your drop in the following way:
FRONT: Measure inside the fender-well, in front of the tire, where your body/kit wraps underneath. Measure from the ground to where your color starts.
REAR: Again, measure inside the fender-well, behind the tire, where your body/kit wraps underneath. Measure from the ground to where your color starts.
PLEASE STICK TO FORM when responding, then make your comments (just like the product review threads)
Cheers, Ted

Maybe that's part of the problem?
He wants to you to measure the bottom of the front bumper I think and the bottom of the rear bumper, where the rim is at. I don't think thats a good acurate place to measure, because those people with diffrent kits will have diffrent measurements.
The proper way to measure drop is usually the center of the wheel to the fender. Or the center of the fender to the floor.

With different aftermarket bumpers, it wont be accurate to compare with everyone. Best to measure top of fender arch to the ground, as mentioned by " Greddysetgo ".

Yes, now the problem with doing it that way, is rim size. People with diffrent sized rims/tires will have diffrent heights from the ground.
I guess the best way would be centerline of the fender to the ground, and also post your front/rear tire sizes. So that someone with a diffrent tire size, could take the radius from your tire, and subtract their tire radius, and get an accurate estimate on what their ride height would be with your setup.
